Ha ha, that first cartoon! In fact, I enjoyed ALL the funny coronavirus memes -- we must keep a sense of humour during all this! And Marco Rubio's two typos, LOL.
Wow - my blog got a spike in my hits that looks amazingly like a Coronavirus graph. That is due to you my friend. Thanks for including my humble blog. I hope it gave someone joy in this otherwise bleak climate. I got a kick out of the meme with the shining family in the car. Social isolation - what could go wrong?
Being able to laugh right now is good with things being so crazy everywhere.
I very nearly spewed coffee out my nose at "Why don't they just drift out to space?"
Thanks so much for giving a shout-out to my blog on the only female ever to win the Medal of Honor. It's a part of my Women's History Month celebration.
It's fun to celebrate something today.
Eating pangolins sounds like a lot of fun, right? NOT! It's amazing what people will eat when they have limited resources.
Debra: We'll always be able to laugh at hoarders (and Rubio).
Lady M: Thanks for the post. Yes, we can't spend all our time worrying. People need other things for diversion.
Mary: Yes, humor has always been a relief even in the grimmest times.
Unknown: I wish they would! Well, some of them.
Sheila: Thanks for the post! Walker deserves to be remembered.
Mike: I'm not sure I'd let them off with "limited resources". China is certainly poor by our standards, but it's well past the point of people not having enough to eat.
Haha. thanks for the fantastic links!

HAHA! I really enjoyed all the memes and cartoons. We need to laugh during this period to keep us sane :)
For sure. At least this terrible time is inspiring some people's creativity.
